Answer:

variable cost: 0.413 dollar per ice cream cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

We subtract the low fron the high:


\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&2000&1450\\Low&790&950\\Diference&1210&500\\\end{array}\right]

The difference tell us that 1,210 ice cream cone generates cost for 500 dollars.

Thus, we divide to get the variable cost:

500 dollars / 1,210 ice cream cones = 0,41322314 = 0.413 variable cost per ice cream cone
